When you left me all alone at the record hopTold me you were goin' out for a soda popYou were gone for quite a while -- half-an-hour moreYou came back and man, oh, man, this is what I saw:

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on youLipstick on your collar said you were untrueBet your bottom dollar you and I are through'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! yeah!

You said it belonged to me, made me stop and thinkAnd then I noticed yours was red; mine was baby pinkWho walked in but mary jane, lipstick all a mess? Were you smoochin' my best friend? guess the answer's 'yes'

Lipstick on your collar told a tale on youLipstick on your collar said you were untrueBet your bottom dollar you and I are through'cause lipstick on your collar told a tale on you! boy!Told a tale on you! man!Told a tale on you! yeah! (fade)
